Vengeance Status Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.38-50200

by: Dridzt [More]

Vengeance Status will show a status bar that fills as the tank gains Attack Power from Vengeance

Upon exiting combat the status bar tooltip will update with relevant statistics from the last fight:

Max Attack Power Gained from Vengeance during the fight.
Max percent of the vengeance AP cap reached.
Average AP gained for the fight.
Vengeance uptime / combat time.
Uptime percent.

Configuration (command-line only at the moment)
/vgs or /vengeancestatus (reports current settings and reminds of sub-commands)
"/vgs lock" toggles bar lock and enables/disables mouse interaction.
"/vgs scale #" scales the status bar to # (0.5 to 2.0 are valid values)
"/vgs border" toggles showing the statusbar border.
"/vgs bgalpha #" sets the background opacity to # (0 to 1)
"/vgs reset" resets appearance and position to defaults.
"/vgs spam" toggles self-reporting fight statistics to chat (only when locked)
"/vgs combat" toggles only showing the bar in combat and hiding out of combat.
"/vgs session" toggles saving session statistics (default is off)
"/vgs humor #" toggles doing a one time per combat event
(currently a randomly selected "menacing" emote) when you reach # % vengeance.
/vgs humor without parameter defaults to 100%, /vgs humor 65 will do it when you pass 65% in a fight.
(might add sounds or visuals at a later date - default is OFF).

Version 1.2 adds the ability to log session statistics to the saved variables. (off by default)
Use /vgs session to toggle collection of data ON.

To get the data for parsing in an external program Log-out and look for
VengeanceStatus.lua inside \World of Warcraft Beta\WTF\Account\<youraccount>\SavedVariables\

Addon should work on all language clients and for all tanking classes.

Re: Max Vengeance

Originally Posted by WhyT

With the change to how vengeance now stacks isn't there technically no Max Vengeance any more? So why display it or even calculate it?

What I'm truly after is just cleaning up the bar. I'd like to at minimum not display anything on the bar except the number. This may cause the bar to no longer climb but I'm ok with that.
I'm ok with changing the LUA file if you could point me to that.

The other option is to put in a set Max, again not display it but I think that would make it so the bar continues to grow.

This is from the changelog

- dynamic vengeance cap
(starts with 4.x formula but will update to 'historical max' as the player does harder content)

As the addon has to satisfy me as well and not just the users this is something that interests me:
What is the max vengeance achieved in x content.
So while there is technically no cap there is a "dynamic cap" based on DTPS (damage taken)

I intend to actually flesh this out some more by storing the zone where the previous max vengeance was exceeded.

When I do that I'll look at adding an option to remove the "cap" for users that don't care for that information.

It is not trivial for you to modify on your local copy because it's hard to have a bar-fill with no end-points, it would have to also be a solid texture and not a fillup.

There's always the option of using one of the other vengeance addons

Dridzt A Molten Giant Forum posts: 973 File comments: 760 Uploads: 76	That's what I get for posting updates without trying cold login It's a non-breaking error, just didn't expect ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED to be firing before PLAYER_LOGIN. Will be fixed next update, thanks for report. Simplest way to fix it if you don't want to wait is replace line 97 with Code: return reqSpell[f.eclass] and IsPlayerSpell(reqSpell[f.eclass]) Last edited by Dridzt : 08-30-12 at 05:44 PM.

Dridzt A Molten Giant Forum posts: 973 File comments: 760 Uploads: 76	@Tukui questiondude ;) Assuming you wanted to overlay the VengeanceStatus statusbar over the playerframe this snippet will do what you want. Code: VengeanceStatus_StatusBar:SetFrameLevel(TukuiPlayer:GetFrameLevel()+1) Keep in mind that this is the 'base' playerframe, Tukui layers several children on top of it for the hp and power text, the castbar, the reputation frame etc. Depending where you want to place the Vengeance Status bar you may need to raise the framelevel some more. If it's put over the healthbar then what I posted above is enough. If it's put at the bottom section then you probably need Code: VengeanceStatus_StatusBar:SetFrameLevel(TukuiPlayer_Reputation:GetFrameLevel()+1) Alternatively you can modify your local copy of VengeanceStatus. Open core.lua in a text editor search for the function createVengeanceStatusBar() go near the end before it returns the frame around line 270 and put Code: bar:SetFrameLevel(10); Then you can tweak the number until it works for you, although I think 10 will be ok. After you've placed it where you want it remember that you can /vgs lock to make it not capture the mouse /vgs border to remove or enable borders /vgs bgalpha # to control the transparency so it fits as possible. Hope it helps.

So, what the max vengeance should be might actually be 7.7-8% lower than the number you're showing.

I'm aware of that but I'm still contemplating how / if I want to deal with it.

olfan A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	I love this add-on. It's information, while not strictly necessary, is fun to know as I tank. I do have one request however, is there any chance you would consider adding a way to customize the size a bit more? I realize there is a way to scale, but I have an elongated UI and would like to stretch it to fit under my nameplate while retaining the width. Thanks!
